UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges
There’s an awful lot of celebratory assumptions going on here, I’d caution everybody that we still don’t know the reason this guy was killed.
Everyone WANTS it to be “scumbag insurance exec. killed for scumbag insurance reasons”, but we just don’t know at this point.
Jilted lover? Could be. Caught cheating? Sure, why not? Insurance killing? Weirder things have happened. Friend or relative just sick of his shit? I mean, I dunno the guy, but anything is possible. Completely random killing? In MY New York City? It’s more likely than you think!
In short, before you all start going “Wooo! Good start!” maybe take a breath and wait until we know more about what happened.
All I need to hear is “Scumbag insurance exec killed” to be satisfied. I don’t care much about the reasons, personally. Excepting it may be icing on my cake if it was due to a denied claim.
I think we should care about the reasons, because if it turns out he got killed because somebody approved an abortion or gender affiming care, all of a sudden the narrative gets turned on its head.
It’s way more likely for people who approve those medical procedures to get killed than for people who deny those procedures.
Which is why I advise caution. You don’t know what you’re celebrating yet.
